Autumn Writing Retreat with Priscilla Morris 2025

Casa La Daina, Romanyà de La Selva, Catalonia, Spain

It had always been a dream to go on an international writing retreat, and this experience exceeded every expectation. After meeting Priscilla on a webinar, I knew she would create a warm, supportive environment and she did exactly that. Her teaching style was both inspiring and empowering. I’m so grateful to have attended Priscilla and Rory’s first writing retreat and can highly recommend. It was the best six days!!!

Tracy, Perth, Australia

The time to write free from any responsibilities has been wonderful! The daily guidance in the classes and workshops felt like brilliant mental exercise to get you thinking structurally and carefully about how to write well. I came with a set project and have made a lot of progress. I’ve left with a lot more clarity and a more mature and advanced approach to my writing. It’s been enormously beneficial… The setting, which of course looked beautiful in the pictures, was just incredible. Rory was an unexpected bonus! I hadn’t thought there would be such great walks and insights into the area and, as a host pair, you’re very friendly, generous and warm. The food was so delicious and healthy. Thanks so much.

Jane Gormley, County Kildare, Ireland

There were so many positives! In the end, I think I enjoyed most the friendly camaraderie between all the participants (leaders, led and support). I have learned a great deal. The retreat actually surpassed my expectations.

Timothy Buxton, London, England

The retreat has done what I’d hoped it would do – galvanised me into getting on with this novel. Every day felt pretty full. I liked that. I wanted to milk every minute by talking to other writers, exploring the wider countryside and receiving expert tuition. Steeping myself in reading, writing and talking about reading and writing. An excellent crowd of people.

Jennifer Baker, Lismore, Scotland

Having the mental space to think through a few aspects of my project without my usual everyday obligations was invaluable. I suspect I’ll be drawing on ideas that were planted during the week for a long time. I hugely appreciated the opportunity to meet other writers and talk about writing in-depth over a week as well as having a chance to focus on my ongoing project. I also loved being in the mountains!

Melissa Fu, Cambridge, England

I most enjoyed being completely removed from daily distractions and surrounded by people who took writing seriously. The beautiful setting deepened that sense of focused immersion. The retreat gave me the time and mental space to focus deeply on my work without outside pressures. I left with a clearer sense of direction for my project and renewed confidence in my writing process.

Mike Allen, Valencia, Spain

I can quite confidently say that this was one of the happiest, most stimulating and rewarding weeks of my life! The fact that the quality of everything on offer was so high made me so glad that I found you!

Priscilla is an excellent, dedicated and conscientious teacher. Great effort is made to change and develop the course each time – the handouts and dossiers are properly considered. I like the way the course is tailored to suit the particular mix of students.

Jean Merrylees

Excellent course as an introduction to creative writing. Learning how to critique others’ work was a huge benefit to me.

The course has opened my eyes to a completely different style of writing. I always aim with my copywriting work to be concise and to the point but have now learned about showing through the senses. Thank you, Priscilla!

I have found it really inspiring to meet others and to hear their ideas and learn different approaches to telling a story.

Claire Craigie

It’s definitely improved my understanding of writing technique and how to structure prose.

It’s a great course that packs a lot in – we get to examine pieces of writing, practise writing, learn the mechanics, get feedback on our own work and support others.

Workshopping has been great. Each session has been helpful.

The course got me writing again after years! It gave me lots of ideas and inspiration and practical guidance to improve my technique.

Being able to talk about a piece of writing with passionate writers and a skilled teacher is probably the most I have learnt about writing.
